What happens

Wild Man Blues is a 1997 American documentary film directed by Barbara Kopple, about the musical avocation of actor/director/comic Woody Allen. The film takes its name from a jazz composition by Jelly Roll Morton (with Louis Armstrong often credited as co-composer due to his influential arrangement), recorded by Morton, Armstrong, and many others. Wild Man Blues is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested) because the film includes several profanities. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
